in annual session this 12th day of June 1893. Knowing as you do, my physical condition you
will not be surprised at the contents of this letter. My
work during the session of the University, has hitherto embraced
a daily lecture of an hour and a half besides multiform
incidental engagements. My son's assistance has been
very valuable to me, and to the students, but without much
lightening my labors. Now however, the state of my health
will oblige me to devolve on him a more important part of
the instruction in the school of Common and Statute Law,
than thus far has falled to his share, and I desire to submit
to the Board of Visitors, through you, the propriety of
enlarging his compensation to the sum I believe originally
proposed for my assistant, namely $1500. Your Architects beg, 1st To acknowledge their error in
the assumption that aught but your appreciation of their position
could lead to their relief. Having learned that you desire to know whether in
my opinion, Mr Jas H. Gilmore, Jr. has manifested such an acquaintance
with the law as to warrant me in signing his diploma
should the Board signify a willingness to admit him to the degree,
I would answer unhesitatingly yes. Mr Gilmore's daily
recitations were more than usually satisfactory, as were also
his intermediate examinations, averaging above 5/6 the And his
answers to the questions propounded for the degree (which were
given privately, but under due safeguard), amounted also, to
more than 5/6 ths. Gentlemen, The Committee on Finance respectfully reports
that the Proctor's annual Report and the settlement made by
the Commissioner of of Accounts show a balance in the hands of
the Proctor for the fiscal year ending June 15th 1893 of $5125.66.
This sum does not include $1275.00 which is a part of the appropriation
made to the Library last year and which was not expended.
This latter sum stands on the Proctor's books to the credit
of the Library fund. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
